[Intro: Wyclef Jean]
|
I want to apologize for makin you wait so long for the sequel
|
Wyclef, Mary J., this one called What About the Baby
|
You ever been like
|
|
[Verse One: Wyclef]
|
Let me talk to my daughter
|
Daughter this is your poppa
|
I know it's been a while
|
We haven't talked
|
|
[Mary J. Blige]
|
But daddy you've been gone
|
And me and mom have been all alone
|
It's been a struggle and you weren't there for us
|
He say
|
|
[Wyclef Jean]
|
Okay, when I called you
|
She wouldn't put you on the phone
|
She call the police, restrainin order
|
50 feet, from my home
|
I tried, I ain't lyin
|
It's so sad that the heavens cryin, AYY~!
|
Once a boy and twice a man
|
I'm just tryin to do the best I can
|
Give me a chance girl
|
|
[Chorus: Wyclef]
|
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
|
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice
|
Everything gon' be alright
|
Baby girl I'm by your side, dry your eyes
|
|
[Verse Two: Mary J. Blige]
|
Let's talk this over
|
Now see I heard everything that you told her
|
But it's gon' take more than words
|
for you to be a father, uh-huh
|
Responsibilities of a man
|
Like stayin faithful just for the fam'
|
What if she knew that you chose
|
another over her mother, aowwww!
|
So you called her
|
and I wouldn't put her on the phone
|
I called the police yes, restrainin order
|
50 feet, from my home
|
I tried, I ain't lyin
|
It's so sad that the heavens are cryin, yeahhh
|
Once a girl, twice a woman
|
And I'ma try to do the best
|
I can't give you a chance noooo
|
|
[Chorus: Blige]
|
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
|
So why don't you just wipe your eyes, dry your eyes
|
You've learned a house is not a home
|
Now that you're living all alone, and your family's gone
|
|
[Verse Three: Wyclef]
|
WAIT A MINUTE GIRL! You're my joy, happiness that you bring
|
Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling
|
You a hip-hop song I heard for the first time time
|
Studied all the words to the rhyme
|
You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon
|
There's no stars, shinin in the ni-iight
|
|
[Mary J. Blige]
|
But if I give you a chance, would you show me you care
|
Be a man, no matter what the circumstances
|
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOW~!
|
|
[Chorus: Wyclef]
|
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
|
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice
|
|
[Blige]
|
You've learned a house is not a home
|
When you're living all alone, and you want back home
|
|
[Chorus: Wyclef]
|
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
|
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice
|
(What about the baby~! What about the baby~!)
|
Everything gon' be alright
|
Baby girl I'm by your side, I apologize!
|
I cry, and I cry, I cry
|
[fades out]
